Take a little potassium chloride - the stuff that puts the “lethal” in “lethal injection.” Add in boric acid, one of the most effective cockroach killers known to humanity, and some urea, the major constituent of urine. What do you get? Brighter roses and tastier
tomatoes.
Watch Chris Hardwick explain why all that stuff is What's Inside …
Your Garden.

my sons and I would love to see the "What's Inside" segments put together in a book. any chances of it happening or an educational version that can be used in a science class? maybe the kids could get a list of ingredients and try to figure out what it makes in class?

Hmmm, in this story, it says "invented by Horace Hagedorn in 1950". I think it would be more accurate to say that Hagedorn was a very bright hard working entrepreneur who had a client and business partner (Otto Stern) with a problem delivering plants and obtained a product solution (liquid fertilizer) from a research scientist named O. Wesley Davidson.
